Farmer Boris and the Snowman

The most famous farmer in the Netherlands celebrates the holidays in 'Farmer Boris and the Snowman', the eighteenth part in the wildly popular picture book series by Ted van Lieshout and Philip Hopman.

In 'Farmer Boris and the Snowman', Farmer Boris and the rest of the farm experience an unforgettable winter adventure. The entire farm is in the festive mood when the fields are covered with a beautiful white blanket just before Christmas. It's snowing! Farmer Boris, Sam and Berend build a snowman of course. They give him a nose and name him Bob. But unfortunately, the snow eventually melts again, and that is the sad prospect for poor snowman Bob. The three do everything they can to save Bob. But suddenly their daring plans are interrupted by a flying sleigh...

Ted van Lieshout and Philip Hopman have been working tirelessly on their series of books about Farmer Boris, Sam, Berend and the farm since 2012. The two form a true top duo: Ted received the Theo Thijssen Prize in 2009 and in 2022 Philip Hopman won the Max Velthuijs Prize, each for their awe-inspiring oeuvre.
